Looking for a great weekend read. Well look no further, check out Confessions of a Courtesan by Deborah Hale writing as Elizabeth Charles. You can read my review below.
Confessions of a Courtesan is one of the most fascinating historicals I’ve read in a very long time. Writing as Elizabeth Charles, Deborah Hale has taken her remarkable research skills and crafted a story that delves into a side of Georgian life rarely seen in romantic fiction. Elizabeth Armistead’s unfortunate circumstances lead her into the kind of life most women of the time would have done anything to avoid if they’d had other options. Many would have withered and died. Elizabeth, however, flourishes. This is not a tragic tale. Rather, Elizabeth is a beautiful, kind, compassionate woman whose qualities make her one of the most sought after courtesans of her time. Devoted friends help guide her career, and in the end, Elizabeth remains a woman truly deserving of all the good she receives. As I finished Confessions, my own confession is that I would have loved to know before I began reading that although fictionalized, the story was drawn from fact. Elizabeth lives and breathes on these pages, and I can’t begin to tell you how much I loved her story.
